Let's start with the Grad-School Fairs. If you, or anyone you know,are thinking of going to grad-school next year for a degree withsocial impact, join us at one of the 17 fairs we'll be hosting inNorth America this fall (registration is free).

At each fair you can meet representatives from 50-200 graduateprograms in fields such as Nonprofit Management, Education, SocialWork, Global Health, International Affairs, Law, Public Policy, UrbanPlanning, and many more.

Here is the schedule for this fall (in parentheses you can see howmany schools have already signed up for each fair):

About Me

I'm a fierce smashing-the-patriarchy Christian feminist spreading the word that hope is real for people with mental health and chronic pain challenges. I do NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations, endorse Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT) and baking cupcakes. I am in recovery from borderline personality disorder, an eating disorder and bipolar II. I work on managing my anxiety. I consider myself living in recovery, because mental illness and chronic pain no longer control my life.
If you would like me to speak to your organization about living in recovery from mental illness, please email me.
